In the days of yore, after the skatepark session was over, you could find the dedicated few speedily slapping red curbs in parking lots until the wee hours. The smash of trucks and the chipping of paint is what the slappy skater lives for, and these days the resurgence of this style of skateboarding has come back big time. Check the hashtag #slappy or #slappysundays in your city of choice and you’ll see what we’re talking about. And in honor of our Year’s Best Comeback Trick, we have this edit of Ace Pelka slapping away on some slick cement. Film/Edit: Peacock
